Day 7: London

We have reached our final destination, Imperial College London! I slept in this morning, flew out of Copenhagen at 2, and got into London airport around 3:30. After getting our bags and going through customs we traveled to Imperial College and checked in at our dorms. Meggan, Ashley and I dropped our bags in our rooms and with Julianna's help (she was on the earlier flight) found the Car Phone Warehouse so everyone could get cheap cell phones. While they got phones I explored St Mary Abbots Church. Super gorgeous Gothic style architecture and stained glass everywhere. After everyone had phones we walked back to campus to meet for dinner and our first group meeting where we got our first class Britrail passes and our oyster cards. After the meeting our group sat down and tried to plan out places to visit and sights to see, I think we are going to take a weekend to travel to the lake district and some other day trips near London. I spent the rest of the night unpacking and getting ready for class in the morning.
Royal Albert Hall down the street
Near High Street- Kensington.
Front of the church
Walking up from the side
Super pretty alter and stained glass
Looking back on the whole church
The plaques are all dedicated to different people
Looking toward the front. Maybe mass wouldn't be as boring in a place like this. Haha
